What is this crap??!!!...

I can't believe this pile of trash was made by the creator of the original... I watched about 40 minutes of it, and it was enough. All right, it was all played for laughs, some will say... But then the task should have been left to some anonymous director. Tobe Hooper made a fantastic classic in 1974 from a ridiculous budget and which remains an icon of horror cinema. That was a masterpiece of psychological horror, but this turd is a disgusting mess of bloody gore meant for mental retards.

I heartily disagree.

Agreed. It's not even a "so bad, it's good" type flick, instead it's a "so bad, it sucks" type. Besides money, I have no idea why they decided to follow up one of the most shocking and effective horror movies ever made with this garish parody. Besides the fact that they completely manage to make Leatherface not scary anymore, you have lots of hammy acting from The Cook and Chop Top, copious amounts of annoying screaming from Williams and a badly done reenactment of the dinner scene from the classic original. I mean grandpa is really 137 years old? C'mon. The set that Leatherface's family is holding up in looks like it was borrowed from Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom. The best thing about it is the Breakfast Club style
movie poster.

What is the crap anyway, this horror crap?

I had the exact same reaction to your post.

I agree exactly! I gave it my lowest rating on IMDB (I gave this one a 2) yet the original was very good.
I actually felt embarrassed watching it and the person I was watching it with agreed with me that it was one of the worst horror films out there.
Also, you won't believe this but the worst parts are AFTER the 40-minute point. It's horrrrrrrrible. At the end, the female radio presenter (can't remember the character's name) waves the chainsaw above her head really weirdly for no apparent reason.
The whole film just makes you cringe because of how bad it is.

Thank you!
I see I'm not alone.
And I think they made a remake of the original some ten years ago or so, didn't they? Of course with tons of gratuitous gore, explicit close-ups, CGI crap and the lot.
No comments.💩

[–] abas426 8 years ago

Yep, they made a remake to the original in 2003 and reduced the greatness of the 1974 film to your typical cliched slasher movie.

But what puzzles me is that some people are giving T.T.C.M. 2 good reviews and saying it's as good as the first, what the *beep*?
I was so glad to see someone else agreeing that it was a piece of crap. Thank you too!

I actually like it a lot and consider it one of my favorite horror sequels. It's really different than the first in tone but both films are great for what they are. I admire it for daring to be different because many horror sequels are exactly the same as the first just with a handful of new characters. But this one dared to do something new and I think it worked out greatly. It may not be quite as good as the first but it's pretty close. I consider them pretty much equal.

Let's be honest. TCM2 is a *beep* movie. It doesn't even compare to the brilliance of the original. Having said that, it is still a fun movie to watch on a Friday night with beer and popcorn.

The original was as disgusting as this one. Anyone that likes the original has deep psychological issues, and should seek counseling -- SOON.

We get it..... you're too much of a pussy to watch horror films, now go back to sucking on your mamma's titty and have her change your diaper for you.

This movie false advertised itself as a Horror movie. I was expecting a movie similar to the first movie. What I got was a parody of the first Film. I disappointed in this sequel and tomorrow I'm going to be watching the 3rd one and I expect it will be as bad or worse.
